About two years ago, I bought a Gulf Coast spiny softshell at a reptile show. She's pretty healthy, but she's barely grown at all. She lives outside in a kiddie pool in the spring and summer and she's fed almost every day, but she's barely grown at all.

Personally, I've never been able to get her to eat anything other than dried shrimp and earthworms. My mom says she's seen her eat some turtle pellets and cat food, but she's still so small (2.5-3 inches).

is something wrong or are they slow-growing turtles?

.O.:.
